Extended Warrantee?

So we found the right trailer for us. On Saturday we pick it up. Keep in mind it's a 2015. I'M already getting the speech about an extended 5 years warrantee to add to a 12 year note which doesn't make any sense to me. I had my previous coach for 15 years before I started having any real problems. I'm convinced I don't want it but I'd like to hear what you guys think.Thanks

  • You will find one or two people on here that the warranty actually worked out for them and it was a good deal. For the other 99% though the warranty was just more money in the dealers pocket.

    Keep the cost of the warranty in the bank and use it in the unlikely event your refrigerator or furnace goes bad. You'll be leaps and bounds ahead.

    BTW, it's not really a warranty, it's an insurance policy. And it's an over priced poorly covered policy at that.
  • Put the money aside and start a reserve fund for future repairs and replacements such as tires.
  • It's your money...BUT...I never seen an extended warranty, that didn't do everything they could to make any claim...NOT COVERED...
  • send me the money, then when something goes wrong,, I,ll send you a e mail that its not covered. keep your money. ever need a repair? call a rv tech in your area, faster,, cheaper,, smarter,, and they come to you.
  • I had our trailer inspected by myself, friends and an independent RV person. That will be the best warranty you can buy. So far, in 8 years we have had one small part (valve) go defective in the stove. You may use a extended warranty, but for me I didn't and came out ahead. I started reading the exclusions in the small print and decided against it.
